Description:
After a fairly large and intense WISER Commons meeting in Portland, I went to Jake's Grill for dinner with 17 other people. An intense meal ensued that likely scared the wait staff.

Jake's is a McCormick and Schmick holding, so they have a sort of pared down version of the Mc&Schmk menu.

We should have got a picture of the whole group, actually. I need to be better about noticing these opportunities and getting photos.

I had a very nicely done hazelnut encrusted halibut. Since we were a party of 18, it is actually impressive that food came out both promptly, at the same time and, I believe, all warm and ready to go. We were actually all gathered around a table that was probably made to seat 12. So the fact that all the plates fit was pretty impressive as well.

On a walk around downtown, I was sad to find my favorite French restaurant, Brasserie Montmartre, was closed. The internet claims it's close for renovations, but it looked utterly deserted - complete with a moldy starbucks cup in the window. Sigh.
